I am looking forward to getting stuff done around my home and spending some quality time with the kids before leaving town for work on Monday.   Even though I am I not going for a vacation I am  looking forward to some warmer temps in South Carolina! I am just so over these frigid conditions and all this snow. My look today is just a casual Friday look some dark colored jeans and my Simply Vera Sweater from non other than Kohl's .

Polka Dots, Pearls and Hot Pink.. Oh My

I am feeling like such a girly girl today. What says girl like this combo?  I saw this polka dot sweater in Kohl's ad one day and finally found it in the store on a whim. I love the contrast of the hot pink and beige and the style opportunities are endless. I decided to give it a classic vibe with this midi pencil skirt and my high heel oxfords. I edged it up a little with these fingerless gloves (so 80's , so Madonna like.) I scoped these up for less than $1 . I am really trying to stay fashionable in this cold weather that I am so over..I keep seeing the light at the end  of the tunnel that says spring.. so close yet so far away!  How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Are you starting your transition into spring fashion?

Blushing Shabby Chic Leopard

I decided to go with a muted version of one of my favorite animal prints. I love the soft colors  so feminine and soft. I finally got some use out of these blush jeans I purchased last summer. The sweater was an Apt 9 sweater that I found on clearance for $10 and they only had a small. I loved it so much that I just had to make it work . It's a little snug but I am going to roll with it.  I put this Elle shirt under it that I found on clearance also. I love the detail on the collar and at $5 I could not resist. I think it added a little more bling to the look giving it a little shabby chic vibe.  I hope my fabulous fashionista's is having a terrific Tuesday!

Orange you Glad it's Friday!

This week has been ... .. loooooong! LOL. Even though I have to work on Saturday I am thankful it's Friday. One positive thing about Saturday's there is no answering the phone  which is a perfect time to catch up and focus.. I always feel in life I am going a 1000 miles an hour...leave work , get kids, dinner, bath and if I am lucky I get a workout in.. and than I get to get up and do it all over again. I remember a lady I used to work with  told me .."Enjoy it now it will go so fast" . Well back than my kids were 1 and 4 now they are 13 and 16 and she was right. I try to remind myself of that.. during the chaotic days.

My look today is casual with a little color.. I am in desperate need of color with the dreary weather in Indiana. I love stripes and I love Orange.. so this cream and orange striped dress was a no brainer!  I added my faux cream leather jacket from Kohl's and my Cream lace scarf from Clothes Mentor Fort Wayne. This scarf is the perfect accessory and I can see me definitely using many times during this
upcoming Spring and Summer.

Fierce Shoes and Houndstooth on Thursday

I remember when I first saw these fabulous shoes on Kohl.com . They were priced at $75 and I thought to myself being the frugal fashionista these are cute but to expensive for my pocket. So I waited and one day as I was browsing online I ran across these at $29.99 plus I had Kohls' cash and a coupon code and the rest is history.. lol.. I decided to go a little conservative with the hounds tooth skirt that was major score at Clothes Mentor Fort Wayne.  I love the classic pattern and have learned it can be styled so many different ways . This time I went with a blue button up shirt with this fabulous statement necklace. That would be my OOTD on this rainy Thursday . How is the weather looking where you are today?

Hot Pink, Leopard and Lace

These are my favorite trends right now. There is so secret I love me some animal print but I am loving the combination of mixing my colors with it. My pre blog days I would only match this with black , tan or brown.. but watching all these other fashionista's out there really gives me the courage to experiment a little. What I love about this dress from Old Navy.. well first of all it was $8 lol.. and that this dress is such a great transition piece. I seriously can wear this dress year around that means more bang for your bucks ladies.  I decided to pair this with my favorite leopard shirt from Clothes Mentor I had actually been eyeing this Jcp brand at Jcpenny and it was $27.00 went to Clothes Mentor and got a Jones of New York brand for $6 . I love this shirt and have definitely gotten my moneys worth and than some. I added my Lace Booties from Kohl's and my look was born.  I hope you fashionista's have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Hello Monday.. you just keep finding your way back into my life.  We are just going to have quit meeting like this! How was your Valentine's weekend ? Anything new and exciting? I did try a new Italian restaurant this weekend called the Italian Connection. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. It is a small intimate place where reservations are must. I enjoyed the experience.

I also found some time to do a little shopping at one of my favorite places for fashion for less The Clothes Mentor . I found some very cute name brand pieces.. I don't know why I was on this skirt kick I bought 3 skirts and you know I had to find me dress.. I always do.  My skirts were White House Black Market, Alfani and Ann Taylor loft and all looked brand new. You fashionista's know how frugal I am when it comes to clothes so never in life would I pay full price for those brands and at Clothes Mentor .. I don't have to. I can't wait to show you how I style all of these awesome pieces over the next week so stay tuned!

Sleek Saturday

Its been a while since I have worn my hair   straight . People are so used to the big curly hair that they almost don't recognize me. I am always amazed by the length when I get it ironed out. Saturday was a busy one for me. So it was kind of nice getting a little dressed up for dinner. I just went with simple basic items and dressed them up with some accessories. How was your Saturday?

Love is? and my Kissy Lips look(Valentine inspired)

I used to think that I had to get the traditional Valentine's day gift for this day to be a win. That if someone didn't love me enough to send my that bouquet of roses or those chocolate covered strawberries than the day would be total loss. This year was a totally different one for me. This year Valentines weekend is so crazy for me. My Love is out of town on business and will not be back till later and Saturday my son has his first Valentine's Dance ...tear. So last weekend my honey had I some alone quality time and he said he decided he would give me my gift early . Well me being the greedy girl that I am you know I was in total agreement with that. Before presenting me with this gift . He gave a little speech about why he selected this gift for me and gave me this wonderful necklace with my Blog name # CurlyByrdie Chirps. What made this gift so special was the thought he put into this gift. That he wanted to acknowledge something that I am so passionate about and the best part of this gift is that he said he was proud of me...( yes there were waterworks!) I am glad he thought out of the box.. but he is good at that. He encourages me .. wants me to be better not for him.. but for me.  That is what Love is for Curly Byrdie hashtag :)

Now back to buisness :) Can you tell by the kissy lips on my scarf that this look was Valentine inspired? LoL . I love this scarf and have featured it more than once. I decided to match it up with my super cute dress striped Elle Dress at Kohl's . I knew when I first saw this in their ad I just had to make it mine. So when I got my 30% coupon that dream became a reality. I added those cute Rock and Republic booties for some extra Valentine flava and there you go .. Love is in the air. What are your plans for V-day? What will you be wearing?

Leopard meets Yellow Neck Candy!

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday..... oh how I like you better than Monday. I don't love you.. but I like you just a little more than Monday but not quite as much as Wednesday . Another cold day in Indiana more school delays.. still cold.. but I am trying to brighten up my day with some yellow bling! I decided to add a snazzy necklace to this Leopard Midi I have been holding on to. I though maybe the skirt was to much Kardashian for the day time but I decided to tone it down with a button down and cardigan. I added my favorite statement necklace right now and it was only $5 at Clothes Mentor. They actually had this on their Instagram so I had to run in there and scoop that up. If you live in the Fort Wayne area you should really follow them on Instagram and Facebook so you can preview some of there fabulous items. You may find something or some things that you love.

Cold day in Fashion and Sunday Steals

Sometimes when dealing with these rigid temperatures it's hard to stay fashionable and even more difficult trying to get this big hair in a hat...the struggle is real ! Lol. My look today was me attempting to keep warm,  look cute while keeping it low in cost! My look today was a dress that I got from H&M for $7...(love that place) I like  the fit of the dress and pattern I addded my lace up boots and other accessories for a nice cozy look. Please note I have boot socks and tights because this Indiana cold is no joke!

I also want to talk about some of my recent fabulous finds. As many of you fashionista's are aware I have slight obsession with dresses. So can you imagine how excited I was when I found some lovely dresses for $7 from Jcpenny .  I had to call my sister aka mini me in on the action .

All Black on a Friday Night under 30 bucks!

It has seriously been a long week. So a night out with some Martini's seemed like just what the doctor ordered.. After dealing with this cold snowy weather it felt nice to get a little dressed up and listen to some live fabulous music and this place has the best Chocolate Kiss Martini's ever!
  I really got this look at such a bargain that I couldn't wait to share. The dress was a find at H&M for only $3.50 this normally was $39.00. It is a little shorter than I usually wear but I paired it with some patterned tights and my new booties. Let me tell you ladies about these booties.. they have a very high heel but these are so comfortable. I have them in red also and just had to get get them in black..I thought these boots gave the look  a little more sexiness showing leg but not to much anywhere else. I felt like it balanced out.  I got the okay for my significant other so I went with it. How did you fashionista's wrap up you week?

I couldn't believe it when Meijer start carrying this line and so pleased when I was able to score such a great deal.  I added my awesome jacket from Clothes Mentor for only $6 and added some accessories and out the door I had buisness! Lol As you can see from pics we had some major snow here in Indiana so I opted for my flat boots. How is the weather in your neck of the woods?

Jumpsuit Ready

Well it's Tuesday in case you needed a reminder LOL. Tuesday's are worse than Mondays for me because I think on Tuesday you have faced the reality that the weekend is really over.As we anticipate the storm that is on it's way I decided to dress up a little because I know these next few days I will be in middle of another winter storm.. oh the joys of winter! That means more cuddle time with a good cup of coffee some movies and some quality family time so it does have some positive points.

My look today is this JLO Jumpsuit that I have had in my closet for a while. I love that this jumpsuit is very structured. It feels expensive and the fit has a nice tailored feel to it. I decided to add that Kardashian hounds tooth top and my berry colored and bow belt. This jumpsuit is versatile I could totally see me giving me a sexy look with some heels a great statement necklace so many possibilities with this little number.  You did a fantastic job on this JLO.

Flowers in February

I was so happy to see some sunshine today. I think it's the calm before the storm ...literally. We are expecting some bad weather in the next few days .
I wanted to brighten up my mood with some pretty flowers. I love this dress in my favorite scuba material and it fits great and at $7 how could I resist? Its a perfect little romatic  look for Valentine's also. My sister was with me at Jcpennys when l tried this on and she decided she would take one home also. She said she would have never thought to try this on. I told her to just call me the "Dress whisperer" lol! Enjoy your week lovely people :)
